The author of several titles about California’s more unusual cultural byways, Mike will read from this book about Golden State’s strangest and most unorthodox Christian groups and leaders, and discuss how their sometimes-scandalous and always-colorful doings affected not only the region, but worldwide religious history and practices.

Copies of the book will be available at Florey’s for purchase, and will be signed by the author. Believers, skeptics, and the merely curious alike are encouraged to stop by this landmark Pacifica business for a unique view of an eccentric spiritual subculture and its saintly and sinful inhabitants.
